2046 is a 2004 movie by Hong Kong art-house director Wong Kar-wai. It is the final part of an informal trilogy of films, following Days of Being Wild and In the Mood for Love.Following the events of In the Mood for Love, Chow Mo-Wan (Tony Leung Chiu-wai) has coped with his unrealised relationship with Su Li-Zhen (Maggie Cheung) by becoming a ladies' man. The film centers on his relationships with three different women: his landlord's daughter, Wang Jing-wen (Faye Wong), a nightclub girl, Bai Ling (Zhang Ziyi), and a gambler coincidentally named Su Li-Zhen (Gong Li). Chow also writes a science fiction serial titled 2046, about a train traveling to a time/place called "2046" where passengers can recapture lost love.The film was notorious for its four-year Troubled Productionnote part of the delay was due to the SARS epidemic, going through many re-writes and versions, before finally settling to the finished product. This was also Maggie Cheung's last major film; after this, she appeared only in cameos or in experimental films. | |

Hotter and Sexier: The previous two movies were relatively chaste in spite of their subject content. This film has no problems in showing sex scenes. | |

The Cameo: Maggie Cheung appears very briefly as Su Li-Zhen in a flashback. Chang Chen appears as a drummer in a club, who's also Lulu's jealous boyfriend. | |

Title by Year: Is the number of a hotel room and a Metafictional Title, well, also referencing an In-Universe story, written by Chow called 2046, which is Science Fiction and future-y, presumably numbered for the year. | |

Defrosting Ice Queen | |
2046 / int_28c1d543 | comment |
Defrosting Ice Queen: Bai Ling is initially cold and aloof towards Chow, but gradually warms up to him. Subverted in the "2046" serial. Tak hopes the android he's spending time with will undergo this, but it doesn't happen because he realises she's in love with someone else. This in turn forces Chow to realize that his relationship with Su Li-Zhen was doomed from the start and leads him to resolve to get over her. | |

Character Development | |
2046 / int_3b113b7 | comment |
Character Development: Chow went through some development between In the Mood for Love and the beginning of this one: he's numbed the pain of losing Su Li-Zhen by becoming a playboy. He spends the rest of the film trying to move on from Su Li-Zhen in a more healthy way. | |

The One That Got Away: Su Li-Zhen is this for Chow by the time the film stars. Over the course of the movie, both Wang Jing-wen and the gambler Su Li-Zhen become this as well. Chow himself is this to Bai Ling. | |
